contain at least one valid directory, and its \fBp_minfree\fR attribute must
be between 0 and 100.

.SH NOTES
.LP
The \fB-v\fR option can be used in any zone, but the \fB-t\fR, \fB-s\fR, and
\fB-n\fR options are valid only in local zones and, then, only if the
\fBperzone\fR audit policy is set. See \fBauditd\fR(8) and
\fBauditconfig\fR(8) for per-zone audit configuration.
